1st Sub Compact Tractor Mulcher Ever - BaumaLight MP330

[@gckshea]

Thank you, Tony, for this review! I have mulcher envy, and where we live now, I don't have brush to clear. You have a hit in prep and maintenance of your place.

[@garywilliam1948]

Fabricating an attachment to lean the brush over as you back up would be a solution to prevent it from hitting the driver. Here's a breakdown of how you could approach this: 1. Determine the Mechanism: Simple Hinge: A basic hinge attached to the brush head could allow it to pivot upwards as you reverse. You could use a spring to return the brush to its normal position. Weight-Activated Mechanism: A weight attached to the brush head could cause it to tilt upwards when the brush is moved backwards. This could be more responsive to the direction of movement. Cam System: A cam attached to the brush head could interact with a fixed surface on the machine. As you reverse, the cam would lift the brush head.

That thing is cool!!! The brush mulcher is such a handy tool. This makes it available to so many more people. Love it! Great video!

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Thank you. Merry Christmas

[@MoneypitHomestead]

Hello Tony. Thanks for another great video. I think Baumalight got the best man to test out this mulcher! Thanks for showing this mulcher to us and letting everyone know they could use one like this on their tractor. Stay safe, and have a blessed day! Donald

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Thank you my friend, Merry Christmas

[@Bbbbbbbbbbxxxx]

Nice attachment. I'm glad most my land is cleared enough that an offset flail mower works fine. This would be worth the money if someone has several brushy acres or more.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I think you are right about that.

[@Tapthatsugershack]

Awesome stuff, as always, guys. This is amazing. I am definitely going to get one for my T224. Merry Christmas, guys

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Thank you! It is awesome, and you'll love it. Merry Christmas

[@TheRustyGarageandHomestead]

I was happy to see this Mr Tony. looks like the T25 handled it well

[@donovanblackwell9153]

It's amazing what you can get done in a day with one of those.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Absolutely! Just in 45 minutes to an hour we got all of that done.

[@Devaultfl]

Baumalight can take my money right now. Since I first seen your 1st video on the MP348, I have been hoping they would come out with a smaller version that would pair up well with the T25. Tony if you get any info on pricing, or a possible release date, I would appreciate if you could keep us up to speed. I am hoping that they can keep it in the $7500 to $8500 range, but I am guessing that it will be similar to the pricing of the MX330 since it basically that with a PTO and 3 point attachment. Thanks for the video Tony. The place is looking good.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Every once in a while a company knocks it out of the park. I think this is that once in awhile.

[@bobpurs]

Handy unit for sure. Nice for maintaining trails. Tony you and family have a Merry Christmas 🎅🏻🎄

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Merry Christmas to you and your family as well!

[@MartyHenderson-ie9sp]

Great video my friend. What a beast for those sub compacts out there. Nice.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I think it will definitely have a place for the small treachers

[@joerodrigues3816]

Great video as you do happy Christmas and new year maté again God bless you all too

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Merry Christmas

[@davida.p.9911]

Awesome unit! Thanks for sharing Tony! 👍😎 I hope you and Tanja have a very merry and blessed Christmas! 🎄🎁✝️

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Merry Christmas and God Bless!

[@Hfoutdoorsyt]

Baumalight makes great products!

[@qconard]

Merry Christmas to you and your family Brother. God Bless

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

God Bless

[@scottbarnwell512]

Very cool prototype

[@jaasx]

Thanks for the video Tony. Interesting product. While I'd love a forestry mulcher I've found that my flail mower (with hammer blades) can do everything I need to clear forest - and it mows (at probably a lower price). Obviously can't handle the same thickness trees but chainsaws handle those easily enough. Maybe this comparison would be a good video to make.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

That is the beauty of it. There are so many variations of implements on the market. We can all find our sweet spot. Merry Christmas

[@TheRustyGarageandHomestead]

That thing made quick work of that trail

[@digging6068]

This would be awesome for throw and grow food plots. It would clear and disturb the top 1 inch or so of top soil enough for good seed germination. Better start saving my money. lol Thanks and Merry Christmas!

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

It really is an amazing machine. Merry Christmas to you too!

[@TheRustyGarageandHomestead]

I love all my ITC quick attach products. They make huge improvements on my machine

[@richardbritton5280]

nice ty tony

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

You are welcome.

[@kevinmontgomery4180]

I would love to have one of these but have spent my budget for next year already on implements. I will be talking to ITC though and get a brush guard for the BB 4035 and slid plate if they have one that fits or can provide one. Thanks for the code Tony5 for the discount.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

You will be very happy with a brush guard. Merry Christmas

[@kevinmontgomery4180]

@@TonysTractorAdventure Thank you sir, Merry Christmas to Tonya, you and Gizmo

[@billweaver3114]

Well I'm impressed and I know I got a lot that I could do with that another thing for my wish list

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I am amazed at the mulcher tractor team.

[@Unknown-pc9yq]

First comment on this video! I am definitely impressed with that muchie for what is is. I'm absolutely sure you cut more than they told you it would go through as well.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

It definitely could go through up to six inches or more if you're willing to take time. I think it is my new favorite implement.

[@mileshiles1287]

Merry Christmas.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Merry Christmas to you as well!

[@larrysims6758]

I'm dying to know about roll over bar light set up. I went through all of your tym vids and couldn't find any info on what lights and brackets those are. Is that something you added? That might make a good video. Love your stuff and can't wait to get my tym in the spring.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

They are OEM. You can order them from any tym dealer.

[@Zfirearms]

I was so hoping that was going to work. But 25hp tractors just don’t have the power 😢, it was bogging down with leaves and twigs. And really couldn’t mulch the small dead trees. That’s too bad. Maybe a heavier drum that could keep the spinning momentum going. Good review as always Tony

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I absolutely disagree. Even the largest skid steer mulchers bog down. They have to back away and let the unit spin back up just like a tractor. I find it to be absolutely outstanding. It sure beats doing it by hand.

[@farmerhomestead]

Any idea of a rough cost? I love it I need it just don’t have 7-12k to drop on it

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

nope. Sorry. This is the only one at the moment.

[@jakewright6429]

Would a BX be able to lift it high enough. Looks like the T25 ( with larger rear tires) only lifts it a few inches off the ground.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

The trajectory of the BX is different. It should be fine.

[@bryankilgore17]

Can you use it on a front pto?

[@googacct]

Definitely an interesting idea, but I think I would be reluctant to attach that to my compact tractor. Even though it looks like it does have a drive shaft with a clutch, I would be afraid that the shocks that could come through that would be hard on the drive train.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I can understand your concern about the shock, but it really works well. It is kinda what a PTO is made to do. Transfer power.

[@gckshea]

Set your slip clutch properly -- maintain it, slip it at least annually and verify it indeed is not locked up. That's what it's for

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

It also has a Kevlar belt

[@danwilkening888]

Hi Tony, I live a bit south of you in the beautiful hills of Tennessee. I am waiting until the weather breaks to pick up a 2515 but was considering to bump up the HP just because I need a mulcher to build and maintain trails on my property. Now I may be able to stay in a 25hp with this new mulcher. Any idea of when it will be available?

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

It is still in the prototype phase. I don't have any insight. Sorry.

[@TomLinehan-d7d]

No mention of the John deere??

[@kiladadeo]

The mp560 can go 1inch in the ground but you would need a class two rear PTO minimum 50 horsepower and 40 at the PTO and it costs about little over $20,000

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

The mp348 is 48 in made for 40 horsepower tractors and below. I have had mine for over 3 years with at least 200 plus hours. I have had no breakdowns or issues. It's virtually indestructible.

[@TomLinehan-d7d]

At what rpm were you running at? Seemed to bog down to fast

[@robertbenton6649]

Any thoughts about making one that can mount on a FEL a running off a mid PTO?

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

too many variations between tractor makes.

[@CraigFogus]

I'm very interested in this for my JD 1025R...any idea what the price might end up at?

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

no clue. This is the only one.

[@travissullivan5245]

Does this model have any sort of interial flywheel to help maintain rpm when grinding?

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Just the weight of the cutter head. It is very heavy for this small of a tractor. It is built for subcompact tractors. The smallest ones can only lift 670 pound on the three point hitch. Every pound counts.

[@weeweed86]

Was any of that you cut privet....? Our place is covered in it.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I don't think we have any of that. We have a lot of the stuff called ironwood. It is ridiculous.

[@lostmanamiga38]

how would something like this deal with rocks? I don't have a lot, but I would defiantly hit the occasional rock if I am skimming the surface and it is digging a few inches the ground

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Obviously, Rock would cause wear sooner than what we have. Still, it has carbide cutters.

[@Mainelyoffgrid]

You think this is too small for a 3515h? Or should I just go bigger?

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I think it would work fine as far as horsepower however I think you would be disappointed with the tractor being so much wider than the implement is.

[@rafterwhomestead]

Will a 2501 Kubota run the 48" mulcher effectively?

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I would probably not think it would. I put it on 2 25 horsepower tractors. The results are less than stellar.

[@grapnel87]

which one would your recommend for your 2515?

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I would recommend either. The MP348 needs more HP. The MP330 is to lightly built for the weight of the 2515. It would bend it. I love the 2515, but it is a compromise tractor. You have the weight of a bigger tractor but the HP of a small tractor.

[@johnhurd7540]

Can you drive over stuff to mulch it or do you have to back into everything

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

It is primarily meant to back into brush; however, you can go forward over small stuff to smooth and re-much.

[@dylantriplett1597]

Just can’t help but think this will tear the tractor apart. Between constant bogging and shooting tree bits underneath only a matter of time before something breaks. T25 looks like it handles those hills well though.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

It's kind of what the pto is meant to do. The way it's set up I would consider this to be much less aggressive than a tiller. It has a slip clutch and a spring-loaded Kevlar belt.

[@Asimplelife1]

Which would you choose with the 2515?

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

There is not a good match for the 2515. It is as big as a 40 hp tractor, but with only 25hp. The new MP330 is to small and uses lighter weight material around the lift area to save weight. This weight savings is done so a BX2680 can lift the unit. I think the 2515 would destroy the MP330 and the MP348 requires to much HP. I have tried the MP348 on the 2515. It works, but it would be disappointing for the money spent. A 3515/4815/T474 would be a better match for the MP348

[@ReadyFreddy57]

What happens when it picks up a large rock?

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Just like any mulcher. Rocks wear the teeth down faster. We don't have rocks.

[@kennethlowe6337]

Nice mulcher Tony but you might want to install a pto clutch shaft on it before you destroy your tractor. 🇺🇸👍

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Thank you for your comment. It has a PTO slip clutch and also a spring loaded Kevlar belt. It is probably safer to operate than a 5-ft tiller.

[@jeffburgeson3490]

Just my opinion, it would drive me nuts working slow. Would have to use the bigger more powerful model.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

That cracks me up. Try doing it with a chainsaw and a rake. This mulcher seems amazing from that standpoint. Your logic: buy a semi-truck and trailer to haul 2500 pounds. This tool has its place. Not all areas are big.

[@SystemsPlanet]

Too much wear on your PTO?

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Yeah, cause we wouldn't want to use our tractor for work. 😂😂😂😂

[@gckshea]

​@TonysTractorAdventure 😂😂. Exactly. We always want a Garage Queen for a tractor. If you use it, then it'll be used.

[@gckshea]

Yeah, Baumalight engineers never considered that. 😮

[@tunet55]

It’s an awesome idea but my bush hog on my little Kubota would have ripped through all of that.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

It would, but it would left 3 inch stubs sticking up everywhere. The mulcher clears everything to ground level. I have thousands of hours on cutters of all types. Each has its purpose.

[@walterorcutt1058]

Yep - the stubs.__

[@MV-df8jl]

Your neck must hurt after an hour doing that, just get a bobcat with the right attachment

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

OK. I look forward to the check you will be sending for the extra $120,000. Some comments still surprise me. No common sense.

[@MV-df8jl]

@ buy once, cry once 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Pococnosurvival]

not impressed at all. first off its way more dangerous doing everything in reverse, especially on slopes. you cant clear trees out like a front attached on a skid steer. its way slower than a brush hog....i dont even see who would want or have a use for it. not to mention your neck is going to break turning it all day. much better options

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Thank you for your opinion. It seems like you're in the minority. Most people realize it is for farm use and small jobs. I have had a bigger one for 3 years without a single incident. A good friend of mine and an exceptional skid steer operator sucked a tree limb into the cab of his skid steer, bending the front cab onto his ankle. Skid steers are extremely dangerous, and numerous examples of them being turned over. According to OSHA, the skid steer is one of the most hazardous equipment used in construction sites. I will concede that you must turn your head while using it. However, most people are smart enough to understand this is not for all-day use. Tractor operators have been looking over their shoulders for over 100 years. A bush hog will leave sapling spikes everywhere it goes. This mulcher smooths the ground over and turns everything into toothpicks down to and below ground level. No spikes are sticking up for UTV tires. Saying that backing down a hill with the tractor is the most dangerous thing indicates to me that you have very little time in a tractor seat, and you don't understand the center of gravity. A tractor backing down a hill is the safest way.

[@JimTamski]

I’m not impressed I think you can do a faster job with a bucket it looked like it was having trouble on small trees

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Thank you for your opinion.

[@alsc4813]

not good...............less power

[@EricTarrence]

Much like everything way overpriced. I'd bet 90%of people who would have a use for this. Can't afford it. Also that thing needs a heavier flywheel

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Negative Nancy much? It is a single prototype. You are speaking about things you know nothing about as if you are some type of expert. You have never touched it.

[@EricTarrence]

If it cost more than 3 grand it's overpriced. Period.

[@spiroschitiris2751]

Completely Useless

[@firemanauxoneknox4287]

Sorry Tony this is just a waste of time, hire someone to come out with the right equipment and get the job done.

[@chrishare3981]

Seems like it stops or slows down when ever it hits anything slightly hard.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I totally disagree with you, but I appreciate your thoughts. It's made for what it's made for. To this point it's my new favorite implement.

[@anomicanomic2705]

Can do that way faster with a 400$ used bushhog

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

There is always that guy.
